00:00Previously on The Bill
00:30How can surveillance have lost him?
00:38They're meant to be sticking to Kennedy like glue.
00:40He was in a busy shopping centre, disappeared into the crowd.
00:43They're checking the surrounding area and the route back to his house.
00:46Well, he could be anywhere by now.
00:48At this point in time, we have no reason to suspect he's doing anything other than shopping.
00:52Sir, Alan Kennedy is a serial rapist.
00:55He confessed to me. It's just a matter of time before he does it again.
00:58Well, that's as maybe, but the fact is his case collapsed.
01:00I can't afford to maintain a surveillance operation indefinitely,
01:03especially one as farcical as this one.
01:05So we do what? We just leave him to his own devices, do we?
01:08We give up on protecting the public?
01:11You and I both know it's not as simple as that.
01:13But, I mean, the surveillance isn't round the clock as it is.
01:16We cannot pull the plug on the whole operation, sir.
01:20What if he rapes another woman?
01:21Alan Kennedy isn't the only criminal out there.
01:24Our resources are stretched enough as it is.
01:25Right, I'm going to ring surveillance, find out what's going on.
01:28How are you today?
01:36Busy as ever. Past custody.
01:38Busy as ever. I meant...
01:39I know exactly what you meant.
01:41I just think there may be things that we should know,
01:44things that you're not supposed to do.
01:46Well, you know what doctors are like.
01:47No smoking, no drinking, no getting stressed out,
01:49no getting up. The usual.
01:51And I do hope you're obeying those orders.
01:53Well, I'm made with the right noises.
01:54You mean you lied?
01:56I don't know.
01:58What?
02:00Nothing.
02:02I'm giving up!
02:03OK. Thanks.
02:16Right, surveillance have picked up Kennedy again.
02:18He's heading back home.
02:19Do you still want to go to this place?
02:20Yeah, I want to be there when he arrives.
02:22How long was he off the radar for?
02:24Uh, 35 minutes.
02:25Doing what?
02:26Shopping, it seems.
02:27Apparently he's carrying a load of bags.
02:29Well, his life is suspicious about that, is there?
02:31Everything about Kennedy's suspicious.
02:33A bit personal in it, Sam?
02:35He's a rapist, Terry.
02:37I just want him off the streets.
02:43I'm sorry, you're just going to have to break your tail.
02:46I want to report a missing bag.
02:48Uh, where'd you lose it?
02:49Gurney Street Shopping Centre.
02:50Name?
02:50Patricia Milton.
02:52Oh, you're in luck, because someone just rang in earlier
02:54and they found him.
02:55Oh, you're joking? That's fantastic.
02:57My whole life's in there.
02:58Uh, the bloke we rang in earlier took it home with him
02:59and we just need to get an officer around to pick it up.
03:02How long will that take?
03:03Can you hold, please?
03:03Um, yeah, it could take a while.
03:05Can't I get it?
03:06Uh, not really.
03:06I'm lost without it.
03:07It's got all my things in.
03:09My phone, my cards, my purse, everything.
03:11I've had to walk all the way here.
03:12I really need it.
03:14I'd love to help you, but I can't.
03:15JT, have you got that message?
03:16You took a call from me.
03:17Did I?
03:18Oh, yeah.
03:18I'll give you a reward.
03:19Now, there's no need.
03:20Is that a D&D?
03:22Uh, yeah, I know.
03:22It's here somewhere.
03:24Oh, come on, I haven't got all day.
03:25I really, really need it.
03:26Come on, JT.
03:27I know, I wish I could help you, but I can't.
03:29Yes, you can.
03:30Okay, go on then.
03:31Just give me a moment and I'll go get you that address.
03:34Oh, yes.
03:42Do you think he knows he's being watched?
03:44He's an arrogant and intelligent man.
03:47He'll have seen we're keeping an eye on him.
03:49Maybe he'll behave then.
03:52Or wait until he knows we're not looking.
03:56He'll know we can't watch him forever.
04:01In some ways, the sooner he attacks, the better.
04:05You almost make it sound like you want him to.
04:10I won't go that far.
04:11Hey, you settling in all right?
04:18Well, since Sergeant Actman decided to punish me for being a naughty boy, you mean?
04:22Being moved to vulnerable persons is not a punishment, Roger.
04:25It is a fantastic opportunity for you to develop your people skills.
04:28I thought I was doing just fine.
04:29Still, what would an old fool like me know, eh?
04:32You seem to hear Snipson anyway.
04:34I think she's still working on the Kennedy case.
04:36Got word they'd lost him.
04:37I think she went to check out his place on Haskell Lane.
04:40Haskell Lane?
04:42Haskell Lane or Haskell Avenue, one of the two.
04:45Why?
04:46No, Lisa.
04:49Was it something I said?
04:50There's always something you've said.
04:52Oh, Charlie.
04:55Come on, Maggie.
05:02You OK, JT?
05:06Not really.
05:07Alan Kennedy.
05:08We've been waiting.
05:10Do you know where he lives?
05:11Is it Haskell Lane or Haskell Avenue?
05:13Haskell Lane.
05:13You sure?
05:14Yeah, I think so.
05:15Why?
05:16Haskell Lane.
05:19And Mr Kennedy rang in about having found a missing bag.
05:21And I don't think anything of it, but it's him, isn't it?
05:24Alan Kennedy.
05:25So?
05:26Well, the woman whose bag it was came in, and I've sent her around his house to pick it up.
05:30You did what?
05:32I know, I know, I know.
05:34Come on, answer.
05:36Pick it up.
05:40It's in her bag, isn't it?
05:42It looks like Kennedy's got to visit her.
05:56Please, tell me she's not going to his place.
05:59She is.
06:00She's going to his place.
06:01Oh, that's all we need.
06:03Who's going to think Christmas has come early?
06:05Well, what do we do?
06:06You bet you don't answer that.
06:07They're not going to go away, you know?
06:08Yes, Nixon.
06:12You're not a good time, JT.
06:16Yes, I am at Kennedy's.
06:17What do you want?
06:19What?
06:20The owner came in and she was desperate to get it.
06:23And I said that it was at the finder's address and we turned someone around there.
06:26But she was hassled and desperate to get it back.
06:29So, I know I shouldn't have, but I sent her around there.
06:34I don't believe you did that.
06:35What does the owner look like?
06:38She's here and she's just gone in his house.
06:43No, listen, I think you've done enough, don't you?
06:49Kennedy doesn't know her.
06:51When surveillance lost Kennedy, he picked up a bag and he reported it missing.
06:54Now, this new bloke has sent the owner around to pick it up.
06:57What?
06:58What the hell do you do that for?
06:59Who knows?
07:01Well, what do you want to do?
07:02You want to go in?
07:03What, and blow the surveillance?
07:04Well, she might be in trouble.
07:07Well, she looks okay at the moment.
07:11Look, we'll make fools of ourselves if we storm in there for no reason.
07:14And besides, Kennedy knows that the police have sent her around here.
07:16Well, that's not going to stop him from doing anything, is it?
07:18Well, he's smart.
07:20He knows he won't get away with it.
07:25Look, we'll just sit tight for a minute.
07:27She might just get her bag and leave.
07:29No harm done.
07:34You've got your bag.
07:35Now get out.
07:36What is he doing?
07:39Let's go.
07:45Helene!
07:47Helene!
07:48Open up, the police!
07:49Open up!
07:51Get over there.
07:52Get over there.
07:57He was going to rape me!
07:59He was going to rape me!
08:01It's okay, we're police officers!
08:02He got hold of me!
08:04He'll never touch her!
08:05Shut up!
08:06It's all right, you're safe now!
08:08He went for me!
08:10I did nothing, I'm telling you, I did nothing!
08:12Save it, Kennedy!
08:14You're under arrest for assault.
08:16Get outside.
08:16Ah!
08:30You jeopardised a covert surveillance operation
08:33and then sent a vulnerable woman into a dangerous situation.
08:35Now, what were you thinking of?
08:37I'm sorry.
08:38You know, the idea is that we serve and protect the public.
08:43It won't happen again.
08:44No, you're telling me it won't!
08:46I know what I did was wrong, but I was busy and the woman was desperate and...
08:50Er, no excuses.
08:52I will not have excuses.
08:54We can all hide behind those if we want to.
08:56Now go on, get out!
08:57Oh, I heard what happened to me.
09:04Is that one by the right?
09:05Oh!
09:06Peter Johansson, back out on patrol!
09:08Mum!
09:08I thought you were in custody.
09:20Yeah, I am.
09:21Then why are you bombarding me with all this paperwork?
09:23Well, I'm not at the stage where I need hourly check-ups.
09:33To be honest, I've never dealt with anything like this before.
09:38Like what?
09:39Well, someone's telling me that they've got an illness.
09:41A serious illness.
09:42I'm so sorry to have burdened you.
09:44No, look, I didn't mean it like that.
09:46It's just...
09:48Well, look, I get the impression that the whole subject seems to be off limits now.
09:52What do you want to know, Smithy?
09:53Come on, fire away.
09:55Maybe the dimensions of the tumour, whether it's spread or not.
09:58Or why don't we just cut to the chase and discuss actually when it's going to finish me off.
10:02That's the trouble when you've spread your bad news about.
10:05You end up spending half your time reassuring everybody else.
10:08Well, actually, I wasn't after any reassurance.
10:12I just wanted to try and offer you the support that you needed, but...
10:15No, no, I'll forget.
10:16You don't need any help from anyone ever, do you?
10:30Here you go.
10:32Thanks.
10:37Can you tell me in your own time,
10:38exactly what happened at Kennedy's house?
10:40He went for me.
10:42Are you sure?
10:43Yes, he was going to attack me.
10:45Why did you lot send me there if you knew who he was?
10:47Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
10:48That was a mistake.
10:49The person you spoke to was new.
10:51He didn't make the connection.
10:53He could have...
10:54I know.
10:54I'm sorry.
10:55When you say Kennedy was about to attack you, what do you think triggered that?
11:03I started screaming.
11:06Before he attacked you?
11:07Yeah.
11:09Why?
11:10Because I realised who he was.
11:11I remembered his face from the papers.
11:13How did he behave towards you?
11:18He was really nice, I guess.
11:20Until he handed the bag over.
11:22What happened then?
11:23Was it anything he did?
11:24No, just me remembering where I'd seen his face.
11:28He saw I was freaked out.
11:29He knew that I knew.
11:30I could tell.
11:32His face changed.
11:34In what way?
11:35He smiled.
11:46Are you still trying to get hold of Honey?
11:48Yeah, I keep getting on with Shane.
11:50She's not going to answer if she's ill, is she?
11:52Why are you so bored, anyway?
11:54Just checking she's all...
11:55888 from Sierra Oscar.
11:56Outside the MCP Bank.
11:58Report of an assault.
11:59Ambulance call.
12:00Sierra Oscar from 888.
12:02Received.
12:03Sheriff's dealing.
12:05What happened?
12:10Did someone get in?
12:11The bloke just hit me.
12:12Took all my money.
12:13Easy.
12:16The ambulance is on its way, okay?
12:18I just have to get my breath back.
12:19I don't want to go to hospital.
12:21You've hurt your head.
12:22It's bleeding.
12:23You need some attention.
12:25Don't we all, love?
12:26Don't we all?
12:32I was trying to give the woman her bag back
12:34and she just flew off the handle.
12:36Why would she do that?
12:38Ask her.
12:38We aren't.
12:39I was trying to calm her down.
12:43You didn't look calm to me.
12:45On the contrary, I'd say you were being very aggressive.
12:48Shouting at her and your arms raised.
12:50Yeah, well, things haven't been too great for me recently.
12:53Thanks to you.
12:55Aw.
12:55Me and the neighbours aren't exactly on speaking terms.
12:58Not that I give a damn.
12:59What I can do without some stranger screaming her head off in my house.
13:03So you're the innocent party here, are you?
13:05Again.
13:09We'll see.
13:14So let me get this straight.
13:17Kennedy didn't do anything to trigger your memory.
13:21No, just seeing him up close, I suppose.
13:25So what did he do when you started to panic?
13:27He shouted at me.
13:28Shouting what?
13:29To keep quiet.
13:33Did Kennedy do or say anything provocative?
13:38He's a rapist.
13:39He was coming towards me shouting.
13:40I'd say that was pretty provocative, wouldn't you?
13:41Yeah, I realise that.
13:42But did he do or say anything specific
13:46that would indicate he was going to attack you?
13:50I just sensed it.
13:51Yes.
13:52But did he do anything, Pat?
13:59Well, no.
14:01Not exactly.
14:07Now, remember, ground rules, OK, Roger?
14:11What are they again?
14:12You're here to widen your police skills,
14:14not to bang out some kind of results.
14:16Meaning?
14:16Meaning just go easy.
14:18We're dealing with a vulnerable old man.
14:19All right, whatever you say.
14:20How's it going?
14:23Oh, he's a sweetheart, but he's not saying much.
14:25Someone whacks him, grabs his cash and heads off.
14:28It all happened so fast, he didn't see him.
14:30Oh, he lost 250 quid, bless him.
14:32That's quite a lot of money to get out in one go.
14:34Did you ask him what he was for?
14:35Yeah, but he's a little confused.
14:37He said he couldn't remember.
14:38I think he's still in shock, actually.
14:41All right, young man?
14:43How you doing?
14:44I'm all right, lad.
14:45Are there nurses in here like that?
14:47Not bad at all.
14:48Oh, Mr. Clifford, I'm dear Mr. Costa.
14:51This is PC Valentine.
14:52How are you?
14:53Oh, Liv.
14:55I want to thank you all for your kindness.
14:56Everyone's been so nice.
14:58Oh, if you're comfortable.
14:59That's the most important thing.
15:01Do you have any family in this area?
15:03Anybody that you'd like us to contact?
15:04Well, my daughters, but I don't want to trouble them.
15:08They're at work.
15:10Oh, well, I'm sure they'd want to be here for you.
15:12Well, they're warriors.
15:13You know what family are.
15:15No, I don't want the fuss.
15:16Besides, they've got enough on their plates without this.
15:19All right, well, I'll let you think about it,
15:21and you might change your mind later.
15:24There is one thing.
15:25Yeah, go on.
15:26Well, perhaps me and him could have a talk.
15:30Alone.
15:32Oh, um, yes, sure, yeah.
15:36Ladies.
15:41Massage.
15:42I would.
15:44What is it?
15:46How's Kennedy doing?
15:49Well, he's stubborn.
15:50There's no way he'll admit to assault.
15:53Let alone attempted rape,
15:54so I think it's going to be down to her.
15:57Then we might have a problem.
16:00Why?
16:01His story might hold up.
16:03Apparently she freaked out
16:04because she realised who he was.
16:06Yeah, but he was going for her.
16:08We saw him, didn't we?
16:09Yeah, but he didn't say
16:11or do anything sexually explicit.
16:12Yes, he touched her.
16:14But that might have been
16:15because he wanted to calm her down.
16:19But we don't know that, do we?
16:21Not for certain.
16:22No.
16:24I'm going to talk to him.
16:26I'm not giving up yet.
16:28OK.
16:37I'm a grandfather.
16:38Oh, congratulations.
16:40Well, look, three kids
16:41and eight grandkids.
16:44It's a shame Elsie's not here to see them all.
16:47She died six years back.
16:49Oh, I'm sorry.
16:50But since Elsie, well,
16:52there's been no one,
16:54never will be, not like her.
16:58But I'm still young at heart, you see.
17:01Well, I'm sure you are.
17:02If you know what I mean.
17:04Of course.
17:06I may be old, but I'm not senile.
17:09Of course not.
17:11I still have needs.
17:14Needs?
17:15Urges.
17:15Oh, OK.
17:18I'm with you.
17:21I didn't want to say in front of your girls.
17:23I hope you don't think I'm some sort of pervert.
17:26No, not at all.
17:27We're all human.
17:29I don't know why it's relevant to what happened to you.
17:32Well, it explains the cash.
17:34Does it?
17:36What was her cash for?
17:38Sadie.
17:38She's a, you know, the lady of the night.
17:47I mean, for me, it has to be the day I nod off after seven o'clock.
17:51250 quid?
17:53Save up.
17:55Well, I'll never guess you through the night.
17:57Or day, in your case.
17:59And she was with you, this lady of the night, at the ATM.
18:07Right beside me.
18:12How did you come to be in possession of Mrs. Milton's bag?
18:15I sat down on a bench in the shopping centre, and there it was, tucked under the armrest.
18:20Why did you sit down?
18:22I like watching the world go by.
18:24It's one of my pastimes.
18:25Along with rape?
18:26Always the charmer, aren't you?
18:30Did you look inside the bag?
18:33Not until the bloke I spoke to here asked me to.
18:36Now, why didn't you look for a police officer?
18:38Or take the bag to the nearest police station?
18:41Well, these days, you can never find a copper when you want one.
18:45And, funnily enough, I have a bit of an aversion to police stations.
18:52I accept that you couldn't have planned this.
18:56But, when she turned up on your doorstep, you couldn't resist it.
19:03Could you?
19:07Is that really the best you can do?
19:09Well?
19:18I was as subtle and gentle as I could be.
19:20Right.
19:21You were right.
19:22I was very vulnerable.
19:24The 250 was for a ton.
19:27They were on their way back to hers.
19:28You're kidding me.
19:30The flesh may be weak, but the spirit is more than willing.
19:33They met in the Grand Duke, and she was with him when he got done over.
19:36Disappeared straight after.
19:37Well, Amber's got CCTV footage of the bank.
19:41What are we waiting for?
19:44Mrs Milton thinks you were going to sexually assault her.
19:49Why?
19:50I have no idea.
19:54See it from my point of view.
19:56You have something of a track record with sexual assault, don't you?
20:00And we both know that you got off on a technicality.
20:05And then, we see you raising your hands and shouting at a woman who is quite clearly terrified of you.
20:14What are we meant to think?
20:15That I was trying to calm her down.
20:20That I wouldn't be stupid enough, especially with my track record, to attack someone in broad daylight in full view of the world.
20:29Well, maybe you weren't thinking straight.
20:31Maybe.
20:32Maybe this is a set-up.
20:38Do you really think we'd plant a bag in the hope that you might find it, then take it home and report it,
20:47so that we could then send round a member of the public as bait?
20:51No.
20:54Not even you'd go that far.
21:00Something amuses you, does it?
21:02Yeah.
21:03Yeah, this isn't a set-up, is it?
21:06This is a cock-up.
21:10You sent someone round to my door.
21:12You guys can't be that stupid.
21:16You're the one in custody.
21:18Yeah, not for long.
21:20Do you know what?
21:21I'm not even going to argue.
21:24My solicitor can do that.
21:26When she claims for damages.
21:31Consider yourself hard done by, do you?
21:33I consider myself a victim of police harassment.
21:38Mind you, if that means I get to see you chewing a wasp from time to time,
21:43well, that's fine by me.
21:45Sarah Oscar, 171 on scene at Tottenham Street, suspect's still on premises, huh?
21:54Receive.
21:55Occupenter Flight 8 will let you in when you burn them.
21:58email me.
21:59Or it'll help me.
22:01Harry, he's taking us, hey, hey, hey!
22:03Get off me!
22:05Hey!
22:05Get off me!
22:06Hey!
22:07Come on, police!
22:08Get off me!
22:08Hey, hey, hey!
22:09Get off me!
22:10I thought he was going to get away!
22:12Harry, he's taking us, right?
22:14Hey, hey, hey!
22:15It's taking easy, all right?
22:16Come on, come on, all right.
22:17Do you want to explain what's going on?
22:18He was robbing the place.
22:19I was walking past and saw him break in.
22:22No, he was robbing the place.
22:23I was walking past.
22:24Okay, okay.
22:25Look, I'm just here to help.
22:28He's lying.
22:29He's lying and see what he did.
22:30No offence, guys.
22:31But when we arrived, neither of you sounded as though you were apprehended a burglar.
22:34He escalated.
22:35Who'd you come to see?
22:36Come again?
22:38Well, it's an apartment block, isn't it?
22:40You both claim to have been passing.
22:42Ah, presumably you mean in the corridor, yeah?
22:44Look, whoever's telling the truth knows someone who lives in this building.
22:51These are of you?
22:53Not looking good, lads, is it?
22:55The door was open.
22:56I was passing it.
22:56I was passing it.
22:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:59There's a false window here.
23:01And with the door, that's two signs of false entry.
23:05You both broke in, didn't you?
23:07I might.
23:08It's our lucky day.
23:09Two for the price of one.
23:13This is Cece from the bank, so let's see if we can spot your new best friend.
23:20Now, now, I can't help it if people find me easy to talk to.
23:24I wanted to talk to somebody's own age.
23:28Do you know, I thought if anyone would be able to take rejection, it would be you.
23:33Oh, really?
23:33Whatever gave you that idea?
23:34How much of this stuff is there?
23:37Oh, hours.
23:38Great.
23:39An evening in front of the telly.
23:40We should get some food in and make a night of it.
23:42Listen, I'm going to have to leave you to it.
23:43If you need me, just give me a shout, OK?
23:45Right.
23:45She's lovely, isn't she?
23:53She's all right.
23:54You like her, don't you?
23:56Like I said, she's all right.
23:58It's a shame she's not interested.
24:01Excuse me?
24:02Well, I don't think she's ready for another relationship yet.
24:05Sorry to disappoint you.
24:07I just wouldn't want you to waste your time, that's all.
24:10Much appreciated, Margaret.
24:12Any sign of that van, over?
24:19Should be with you any minute.
24:21Yeah, received.
24:22I'm telling you, this is a mistake.
24:23Why don't you do us a favour and shut it?
24:26Couldn't agree more.
24:27What the hell's going on?
24:29Who are you?
24:30Eric Thompson, I live here.
24:32Ah, B.C. Statman Hollis, Sunhill.
24:34What's happened to all my stuff?
24:36These two gentlemen were in the process of stealing it.
24:39What?
24:42Take a look at this.
24:47Mm-hmm.
24:51Oh, that's Sadie, is it?
24:52Yeah.
24:58Ooh.
25:01Gosh.
25:02Harry was lucky to have kept hold of his card.
25:05He was lucky to keep hold of his teeth.
25:07Sadie's in on it.
25:09You think so?
25:10Oh, must be.
25:12I mean, you know, she takes Harry to the ATM, her mate's watching, he steams in, does the
25:15deed, she's out of there.
25:17Well, not necessarily.
25:19She might walk off because she doesn't want to get involved or because she realises that
25:22she's not going to get her trick.
25:24And just leave him sprawling.
25:26Prostitutes aren't known for their sentimentality.
25:28I think we should pursue her.
25:30We know what she looks like.
25:32We know where Harry picked her up.
25:33My guess is she'll finish the night there.
25:35Do you want to mount a covert operation to get her?
25:37Because we're going to need high-level authorisation for that.
25:40Well, you and me could just go and do it.
25:42No way.
25:42I've got a life.
25:44That's not what Margaret said.
25:45Excuse me?
25:49She thinks I'm soft on you.
25:51But she told me you weren't ready for another relationship.
25:56She did what?
25:57Can you think of any reason why two people were trying to rob you at the same time?
26:16You ought to come up, right, yeah?
26:19Sorry, no, I have no idea at all.
26:21What is that in Nick here?
26:23I mean, if I was loaded, I wouldn't spend half my time down the betting shop, would I?
26:26Is the only who missing?
26:28Scumbags got caught in time, didn't they?
26:34Do you know either of these gentlemen, Mr Thompson?
26:37Never seen them before in my life.
26:39Are you sure?
26:40I just told you, you know, didn't I?
26:48I can't believe he's being released again.
26:50Don't let it gnaw away at you.
26:52It's exactly what he wants.
26:53What if he strikes again?
26:55He'll probably do it just to taunt us.
26:57Well, hopefully Savannah's will have it covered.
27:00Well, what else can we do?
27:01You know, I'm suing for harassment.
27:06Really?
27:07Do you want to know the truth about the bag?
27:09I didn't give a damn about it, but I thought I'd report it anyway.
27:16What the hell?
27:17It was my little joke.
27:19A joke?
27:20To see if anyone noticed that public enemy number one here was doing his bit.
27:24Mind you, I had no idea it would kick off all this fuss.
27:27Would you have to say, I'm enjoying very much.
27:34Any chance of a lift?
27:36I don't appreciate being the subject of gossip.
27:50I don't know what you mean.
27:51You told PC Valentine that I wasn't ready to have a new relationship.
27:55I didn't mean any harm by it.
27:57Then why say it, Margaret?
27:59I mean, didn't you listen to a word that I said yesterday about boundaries?
28:03Yes.
28:04Well, it doesn't look like you have.
28:05Because you know nothing about my private life.
28:07You certainly don't know anything about my relationships.
28:10And you have no right to talk as if you do.
28:13I just care, that's all.
28:15Well, I'd rather you didn't talk about me.
28:19Excuse me.
28:26I'm sick of explaining.
28:28Well, we're sick of hearing it.
28:30Let's drop the have-a-go-hero stuff, shall we?
28:32You're a burgher.
28:33You're just 18, and you've got form as long as you're on.
28:36Come on, think about it.
28:39Forensics are crawling all over the place as we speak.
28:41We've already got you on suspicion of burdering.
28:43You're looking at adding to your considerable list of convictions.
28:48So, come on.
28:49Which one were you?
28:50The door or the window?
28:53Do you think that lard-arse could squeeze for a window?
28:56Is that admission that you broke in?
28:58What do you think, Sherlock?
29:00What about Jimmy Wallace?
29:02What was he up to?
29:06Nothing.
29:08Oh, well, perhaps he's telling us the truth, then.
29:10Maybe he's just an innocent passer-by.
29:12Do you know, I think we should let him go and charge you instead.
29:15He broke in after me.
29:17I mean, what's he on, mouthing off in a pub about what he was going to do?
29:20So you thought you'd nick in first?
29:22Yeah, why not?
29:24And seeing as we're being straight with each other now,
29:26there's something I want to say.
29:28Go ahead.
29:31I want to sue Jimmy Wallace.
29:33What for?
29:34For a sort.
29:35Burglars have rights too, you know.
29:36Burglars have rights over homeowners that use excessive force.
29:41Wallace used excessive force.
29:43Yeah, but he's not a homeowner, is he?
29:45He's a rival burglar.
29:47So?
29:48There'll be a test case.
29:55Oh, Smithy!
29:56What?
30:02About before.
30:04No problem.
30:07Look, come into my office for a few minutes.
30:09Come on.
30:17Sit down.
30:18I'm sorry.
30:31I understand that it's hard.
30:34But have you at least told your family?
30:36No.
30:37I'm sorry, but I think that's pretty out of order.
30:40Why?
30:41My father's dead, my brother's dead,
30:42and my mother's been in a state of semi-consciousness
30:45since as far back as I can remember.
30:46I didn't realise.
30:50Well, why would you?
30:53So where's your mum?
30:55In her home, in Kent.
30:57And she's been in there since you were a kid?
31:00No, she used to be addicted to Valium.
31:02And she'd be crawling the walls when she was trying to come off it
31:04and staring into the middle distance when she was on it.
31:08So your dad raised you then?
31:09Oh, do leave off in East End Bookie.
31:12Put myself up.
31:14Something pathetic, isn't there?
31:16About a 50-year-old woman banging on about her terrible childhood.
31:20According to you, there's something pretty pathetic
31:23about showing any kind of emotion at all.
31:25I can't afford to fall apart.
31:27I don't have some big old support network to pick up the pieces.
31:31The irony is you do.
31:33You just won't let them.
31:35Well, there is something you could do for me, if you'll mind.
31:41I'm solely responsible for my mum.
31:51You know, I'm her only visitor.
31:52So if I...
31:55Well, when I go into hospital,
31:57she's going to need a point of contact.
32:00I'm not going to tell her about the cancer, because there's no point.
32:03So, I was wondering if I could give the home your number.
32:09Just in case, you know, something happened.
32:11Absolutely.
32:14Absolutely.
32:24But if you did ever want to fall apart,
32:28I promise,
32:30I wouldn't tell anyone.
32:31You know how it works.
33:00You know, we're charged with burglary.
33:02Yeah, yeah.
33:03I just hope you've nailed that Sir Rag Adams.
33:05Yeah, we charged him as well.
33:07You might be hearing from him as soon as it happens.
33:09He's going to sue you.
33:10What for?
33:11Assault.
33:13That's a problem today, isn't it?
33:15No one's got any respect for their peers.
33:17Come on, Jimmy.
33:18You're just trying to rip off one of yours.
33:19We checked on Eric Thompson.
33:21Used to do a bit of thieving himself, you know.
33:23In fact, you and he had done a couple of jobs together.
33:26So why rip off a mate?
33:28Some have deserved it.
33:30I ain't seen him for years.
33:32Tom's in no local,
33:33bragging about how good things are for him.
33:35How he ain't looked back since he went straight.
33:38How he's earned a fortune in as a flash of own.
33:40Well, he didn't look flash to me.
33:42There's hardly anything in it.
33:44So why do you reckon he didn't let on that he knew you?
33:47Probably up for something.
33:48That's a reformed character you're talking about.
33:50Tomo?
33:51I don't think so.
33:53Once a thief, always a thief.
34:00Thanks.
34:01Can I get you a drink?
34:21You look like you were just leaving.
34:23Me?
34:24No, never.
34:25I'm Sadie.
34:28Roger.
34:29Roger.
34:30Nice name.
34:37Eric Thompson runs his own catering firm.
34:39Or at least he tries to.
34:41Premises are boarded up and landlord hasn't seen them for months.
34:43Business is definitely not booming.
34:45I just spoke with his insurance company.
34:48Guess who yanked his cover up last week.
34:50You know, a cynic could be forgiven for thinking that he knew he was going to be burdened.
34:54Rich, how can you even fix such a thing?
34:56Yeah, well, I know it's terrible, but still might be worth putting to him, don't you think?
35:02So, what do you do for a living, then?
35:05I'm a businessman.
35:07All right.
35:09Does that mean you have a lot of people under you?
35:11I have had a few in my time.
35:15I bet you have.
35:17What about you?
35:18Same.
35:20I run my own business.
35:25Why don't you and I go somewhere a little bit quieter?
35:29Why don't we have another drink first?
35:34You're the boss.
35:41What do you lot want?
35:43I've only just seen a bank of your forensics.
35:45Shatty, aren't you, no?
35:47Just want to ask you a few questions.
35:49Like why you didn't say you knew Jimmy Wallace?
35:51Jimmy blubbed, did he?
35:52Never could keep his mouth shut.
35:55Yeah, me and Jimmy go back a long way.
35:57Yeah, we know.
35:58And we also know about your past.
35:59Oh, that I was a thief?
36:01Yeah, well, that's three years ago.
36:02I'm straight now.
36:03Still doesn't explain why you pretended that you didn't know him.
36:06Didn't want to embarrass him.
36:07Oh, come on, he was robbing your flat.
36:09Jimmy and me go back before the flood.
36:12I'm not proud of what I've done.
36:14But a lot of the jobs I did were with him.
36:17He don't need me rubbing it in.
36:19Oh, don't tell me.
36:20Honour amongst thieves.
36:22Yeah, something like that.
36:23Old school sickly gatherer.
36:24Especially with a kid like that about.
36:27Well, it's very touching, but I don't believe a world of it.
36:29Look, if I'd have let on that I knew Jimmy,
36:31you'd have thought straight away it was an insurance scam.
36:33Uh, well, yeah, that and the fact you just increased your insurance cover.
36:37It's a rough area.
36:38And your business is on the slide.
36:41If it was an insurance scam, why wouldn't Jimmy gross me up?
36:45Well, because he didn't realise he was part of a scam.
36:48Jimmy said you turned up at your old aunt the other night out of the blue for a drink
36:51and spent the whole evening telling him how wonderful things were.
36:54Knowing that would hurt him.
36:55And knowing that he wouldn't be able to resist getting revenge.
36:58So he comes round here, robs you,
37:00you make the claim, probably with false receipts.
37:02I don't know what you're talking about.
37:05Oh, I think you do.
37:06Only Colin goes up to Jimmy and it's all gone belly up.
37:09You know everything, you can't prove nothing.
37:11Correct.
37:12No, but I'll tell you what we can do.
37:15If you report a burglary in the near future,
37:18we'll be all over your false claim like a rash.
37:20Clear?
37:23Very.
37:23I've just had Alan Kennedy's solicitor in.
37:27He's threatening to sue for harassment.
37:30Well, you can't.
37:30He clearly thinks he can.
37:32From what I gather, he's got a point.
37:34Sounds like we made a complete mess of everything.
37:36Sir.
37:37I'm pulling the surveillance.
37:39Under the circumstances, I don't think there's anything else we can do, do you?
37:42Anyway, Kennedy clearly knows about it.
37:43Well, maybe that's what's keeping him in check.
37:45You don't know that.
37:47And we can't keep it going indefinitely.
37:49I don't have endless finances at my disposal.
37:52And clearly, the surveillance hasn't proven effective,
37:55so that's the end of it.
37:59Sir.
38:01Burglary in progress at Tons Street.
38:03Tons Street?
38:04Haven't we already been there?
38:05Yes.
38:06Yeah, Keisha, excuse me.
38:09I was talking to her earlier.
38:10She was fine.
38:11I mean, it's got to be a mistake.
38:13I'm sure it is.
38:13We just need to find someone.
38:14Sergeant Smith?
38:16Yeah, what for?
38:16It's D.S.
38:17I got a call telling me to come to the station.
38:19Slow down.
38:20You are?
38:21Brian York, correct.
38:22So Diersta Costa told you to come here?
38:24No, not her.
38:25I don't know who it was.
38:27They said I had to identify the body.
38:29Whose body?
38:30Ramine's.
38:33There's been an accident.
38:35She's been killed.
38:36Oh, Tel?
38:52Yeah.
38:52Have you seen Ramine?
38:53No.
38:54Why?
38:55What's wrong?
38:56We've had a report that Ramine's in trouble.
38:58What kind of trouble?
38:59Someone phoned her ex, Brian York, and said that she was dead.
39:02What?
39:03Look, it's probably just a bad practical joke, but we need to locate her when she's not answering
39:06her phone.
39:07Well, where's Brian York now?
39:08He's in with Gina.
39:09He's pretty shaken up.
39:10Well, when was the last time anyone saw Ramine?
39:12Well, it was a couple of hours ago.
39:13She was working on something with Roger, but he's not here, and he's not answering his
39:15mobile either.
39:16Well, OK, you keep trying.
39:18I'll see what she was working on.
39:25Ready to hit the road, then?
39:27Maybe.
39:28Where?
39:30I have flats just around the corner.
39:33We can go there.
39:34Sounds tempting.
39:36Is it, er...
39:37Will it be very...
39:39Expensive?
39:41Exactly.
39:42No.
39:43It's a bargain.
39:47Well, that's a lot of money.
39:51I'm a lot of woman.
39:53And I don't disappoints.
39:55I'm sure you don't.
39:58This isn't something I normally do.
40:01Well, there's more reason to treat myself, then.
40:06OK.
40:07I'll need to get some cash.
40:09There's a hole in the wall on the way.
40:11Right.
40:14Right.
40:16Well, let's go.
40:47Hey, you.
40:54I'd put that cash away if I was you before it gets nipped.
40:58Yeah, sure.
41:00Come on.
41:01It's just around the corner.
41:04I'm really sorry.
41:05It's OK.
41:06I look after you.
41:07Look, this is a mistake.
41:09It's not.
41:10You're just a bit nervous, that's all.
41:11I'm not nervous.
41:12I'm a police officer.
41:14No one's perfect.
41:15No, you don't understand.
41:17I'm on duty.
41:18What do I care?
41:20As long as you pay.
41:21Sadie, no.
41:23Where is he?
41:24Who?
41:24Harry.
41:26The old fella from this morning.
41:27I don't know what you're talking about.
41:29What's going on?
41:30Keep out of it.
41:31It's none of your business.
41:32The old man you were going to fleece.
41:34Have you seen him?
41:35Why would I have seen him?
41:36He said he was coming to find you.
41:38I've seen him.
41:38I've seen Harry.
41:39Who wants to know?
41:41Guy McFadden.
41:42His son-in-law.
41:42Who are you?
41:43PC Valentine, Sunhill.
41:45Are you arresting her?
41:47Good.
41:47I'm not arresting her.
41:48I'm arresting you.
41:50Me?
41:51I haven't done anything.
41:53Strange.
41:53You were caught on CCTV earlier today, at this cash point, pushing Harry over and robbing him.
41:59Guy McFadden.
41:59I'm arresting you on suspicion of robbery.
42:07Guy McFadden.
42:07I'm arresting you on suspicion of robbery.
42:09You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention one.
42:12Question something you later rely on in court.
42:15Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
42:17Come on, mate.
42:20And this woman sounded genuine.
42:23Completely.
42:24Calm and to the point.
42:25And has Ramoney ever mentioned anyone who's been given her any trouble?
42:29Not that I remember.
42:31Work was never something she spoke to me about, even when we were together.
42:34And now, no way.
42:37Any news?
42:39No.
42:40We've contacted everyone that she worked with recently, and we're going through her case files, but so far, nothing.
42:45Where is she?
42:49Everything's gone.
42:52Where were you?
42:53Down the pub with Jimmy.
42:54Phoned me up, said no hard feelings, you fancy a drink.
42:57It's a stitch-up, isn't it?
43:01Point of entry to the back window.
43:03Colin Adams, there, Mo.
43:04Jimmy gets you out for a drink.
43:06Colin breaks in.
43:07I want them done.
43:08They already have been.
43:09Look, we'll check on it.
43:11But the chances are they're just going to deny it.
43:13They're already on bail for burglary.
43:15They're not going to admit to it this time.
43:16No, you never know.
43:17We could be wrong.
43:18It'd be hard to prove.
43:19Don't even think about the insurance.
43:21Yeah, because we've spoken to them already, remember?
43:23They'd be very suspicious of any sudden claims.
43:25What am I going to do, then?
43:26Forget it.
43:27What?
43:28Well, they've had one over on you, you've had one over on them, and I'm...
43:32Honour amongst thieves and all that.
43:33Thanks for nothing.
43:35We'll leave you to it, then, shall we?
43:42Why beat up your father-in-law?
43:44I didn't beat you up.
43:46I just...
43:46I wanted to stop.
43:48What he's doing with that tongue?
43:50Why?
43:50Because it's disgusting.
43:53It's tearing his daughters apart.
43:56Can't stand by anymore, and watch what it's doing to them.
43:59He's spending all his money on that woman.
44:01He's lonely.
44:02So get a hobby.
44:04He's got family, grandkids he could spend time with.
44:07It's not as if we neglect him.
44:09Well, maybe he needs something else.
44:11It's easy for you to say.
44:15How would you feel if it was your dad?
44:18Can't you just try talking to him?
44:20We have.
44:21A million times.
44:22We won't listen.
44:24Today was no different.
44:26My wife got him home from the hospital, had a blazing round when he walked out.
44:29Made no secret of where he was going.
44:32So why do you think he's gone now, then?
44:33Looks like you got to his troll at first.
44:37He's probably in that bar right now, trying his luck with another one.
44:43Come on.
44:50Ramani!
44:51What's going on?
44:51I've got about ten messages on my mobile.
44:53Where have you been?
44:54At a multi-agency meeting.
44:55We've been going crazy here looking for you.
44:57Why?
44:59What's the matter with everybody?
45:01You look like somebody's died.
45:02What's happened?
45:03Ramani?
45:04Brian.
45:04Oh, thank God.
45:06What's happened?
45:08Brian got a call earlier saying you were dead.
45:10What?
45:11Someone rang me and said that you'd been killed.
45:13Who?
45:14We don't know.
45:15Well, maybe you misheard or something.
45:17It's not the type of thing you mishear, is it?
45:18I mean, who would ring up and say that I was dead?
45:20Well, can you think of anyone that might hold a grudge against her?
45:24You think this could be meant as some kind of threat?
45:26Not necessarily.
45:28But we should take it seriously because whoever did this went to the trouble of getting Brian's number.
45:31But what are you saying, though?
45:32I mean, are you saying that somebody's out to get me?
45:34Next time on The Bill...
45:44Remember that when Kennedy reaps again?
45:48It'll be your fault because you didn't put him away when you had the chance.
45:50Can you just get him in the car?
45:51There is somebody out there who wants to hurt me and my family.
45:55You're all I've got, Sam.
45:56We're finished here.
45:57We're not finished till I say we're finished.
45:59We're finished.
46:00We're finished.
